I looked into this a while back and I'm sure I read that it is common practice. It would be sickeningly taxing on the Dr if they were to create all of the punch holes then have to remove every single graft.Hopefully this will be confirmed..

Absolutely confirmed, Pablo.

FUE is very exhausting, as are strip megasessions, which is why your doctor needs to work with a team.

There are two main stages of FUE. The first is scoring around the graft with a punch or punch-like tool at the right angle and depth. The second is the application of traction to remove the graft. Both require alot of practice to get the hang of, but in my opinion, the scoring part is by far the harder one, so that's probably the part you want your doctor doing.

No need to worry about a technician removing the grafts, however. If you think about it, ALL graft preparation is performed by techs in strip surgery and the success of this procedure is well known.

The key to a good transplant clinic is not only the presence of ALOT of techs who work everyday, but consciencious ones who are naturally patient in their attitude and meticulous in their work. A good tech "feels" their way through a procedure, and should have no problem with extracting FUE grafts.

All the best,
Dr. F
